Starshock

Prologue: Messing with the Time Drive

Mushroom Kingdom Skies

It was cloudy and quiet time in the skies above the Mushroom Kingdom. It is not really quiet due to the sound of an turbine engine. The Starcruiser Prime flies over Peach's Castle to the south.

Starcruiser Prime Main Bridge

Sally: *Is reading the ship manual**sitting on the captain's chair* Ugh, my bro's grammer is still rough in the edges. I don't get some of this stuff.

Plasshi: At least you got this ship to yourself while he's out in the Mid Rim dealing with the invasion force.

Sub: *Enters bridge* Ah, Sally Snifin, you finally get to be captain of this vessel.

Sally: I can command a ship but unfortunatly, most of the crew are on holidays so all I have is five maintience robots, three V Neo Trooper squads, four pilots, 20 troops, three crewmen, and other YB members in the cafe. Just a skeleton crew so I have to fill in for some areas of the bridge along with the help of the Star Sage's avatar wheel.

Sub: Even with a skeleton crew, you should be fine as long your good at being a captain.

Sally: Another problem is the controls' complexity, look at them, so many buttons and switches. My old ship have simpler controls that this. Also I don't remember this control panel. *Points at the new control panel**It has hourglasses on the side with an advanced digital clock with at the current time**The clock tells what month, hour, and year along with the usual hour, minute, and second**The panel itself has various switches, knobs, doodads, buttons, resembling the controls of a Time Lord's TARDIS*

Plasshi: Maybe we can fiddle with it and let's see what happen.

Sub: I wouldn't do that if I were you. Random fiddling on it is ill advised.

Sally: *Reads more of the manual before putting it back* I tried to read about this control panel but I gave up, this book has way too much errors for me to understand.

Plasshi: *Is figuring out how it works**presses a few buttons**triwst a few knobs**pulls a lever**An alarm is activated* Uh-oh.

Star Sage: Time Drive activated. Designated time: July 8,1954. Destination: Grand Sea

Sub: I knew this will happen. The ship's going to warp into the past.

Sally: I know, this is gonna be a bumpy ride. *Grips onto her chair*

The Starcruiser Prime then jumped into the past, simular to jumping hyperspace.

Rotten Burger: Will the ship survive through the space-time continuem? Can they sheild themselfs from the aging side effects of time travel? Why am I asking these silly questions? Stay tuned for the first chapter of Starshock, Welcome to Vapture.

Chapter 1, part 1: UnWelcome to Vapture

Grand Sea (1954)

The multi-gadgeted ship, Starcrusier Prime, pummels toward the sea at hi-speed in a blaze. Some of the hull plates are torn due to the blazing.

Sally: *Is gripping on the Star Sage Avater Wheel, trying to steer it* Steer, dammit, steer!!

Plasshi: *Is gripping onto her seat for dear life* This is bad, real bad.

Aqua: *Enters the bridge* What's wrong, are we dive-bombing?

Sub: *Using his magic to soften the inpact of the crash langing* No, the ship warped into the past, July 8,1954.

Star Sage: Brace for impact in 3...2...1.

The Starcrusier Prime crashes into something tall and bulky as it hit the water, crippling the bow.

Sally: *Get up**rubs her forehead* Owwww, my head. Damage report.

Star Sage: The ship received 30% hull damage, the Time Drive is overload from misuse *Plasshi felt guilty*, the engines are frozen due to the time vortex, and all of ship's weapons are online.

Sally: *Groans* Great, just great. We're stuck in the past with a broken ship in front of some metal tower.

Sub: Calm down, the ship has repair drones. We can go back when it is fully repaired. It'll take some time.

Plasshi: Why don't we enter that tower we just crashed into, we don't have anything to do anyway.

Aqua: No way, we should stay here because that tower doesn't look to friendly.

Sally: Nah, that tower should be studied. I wanted to research it because I think this place is unknown to us.

Aqua: Fine but don't blame me when you guys get yourselves killed.

Near the tower

Our heroes looked around the tower which is really a lighthouse made out of reinforced waterproof brass, they were astonished by the artistic design on the walls.

Plasshi: Wow, whoever made this lighthouse should get an award.

Sally: Hmmmm. *Examines the design with her scan visor* Neo-Victorian Steampunk art along with the Art Deco, rare art theme by Van T., the "missing" renowned artist in the 1950s. *To Plasshi* Hey Plasshi, where's your husband, Coshi?

Plasshi: Him, he stayed at his home island helping with the reconstruction. He also took care of my egg. Dr. Mario said that it has our genes. We sorta do some-

Aqua: Whoah, whoah, whoah, I don't want to know, ok?

Sub: *Finds an enterance* Girls, I discovered the enterance, we should recon the interior for anything suspicious. I'll call in the ARC Troopers

Lighthouse Interior

As our heroes (along with Mario and Luigi ARC Troopers) enter the lighthouse, the doors closed by themselves thus trapping them in the complete darkness. Suddenly the interior lights up revealing a brass statue of a Snifit wearing a fusion of the traditional robe and a business suit. It is holding a plaque above its head like Atlas. The plaque has some sort of propaganda phrase, "No Gods or Kings. Only Man."

Plasshi: "No Gods or Kings. Only Man." What the crap?

Sally: Hmmmm, that statue looks familiar. I can't quite put my finger on it.

Sub: Either this is some shrine or something else, come on, we got work to do. *Walks down the stairs*

When they walk down the stairway, they found many bathyspheres shaped like mechanical Cheep Cheeps with the mouths acting as hatches. The group then enter one of the bathyspheres and sat on the seats. Plasshi pulled the level so it can be move. It dives into the deep with signs measuring how deep the bathysphere in fathoms. A tv screen appears with as a slideshow with fanfare audio. The first picture is the snifit in the business suit, the same one as the statue. The picture also reveal his name, Ryan Snifit.

Ryan Snifit (audio only): I am Ryan Snifit, and I'm here to ask you a question: "Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?"
"No," says the Toad in the Mushroom Kingdom, "It belongs to the poor!"
"No," says the King in the Koopa Kingdom, "It belongs to the Royal Family!"
"No," says the Bob-omb in the Fahr Outpost, "It belongs to everyone!"
I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something different... I chose the impossible... I chose...
Vapture!


*The tv screen then reels back so everyone can see the underwater city. The sphere cruises around the city. Everyone can see the skyscrapers (or in Vapture's case, surfacescrapers) with the local wildlife minding their business. Electric cables and passage tubes connecting the buildings.*

Ryan Snifit (audio only): Where the artist would not fear the censor, where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality, where the great would not be constrained by the small. And with the sweat of your brow, Vapture could become your city.

"A man chooses. A slave obeys."


Vapture Toad (radio): Is it me or their is some large ship floating above the surface and how can a ship discover this place, we're in the middle of the sea.

Vapture Yoshi (radio): *Light Scottish accent* Whoever they are, we should help them. This city has went down the drain due to that cursed ADAM. You better get over there or the splicers will tear them to shreds.

Aqua: Splicers?

Plasshi: ADAM?

Sally: Ah, that Snifit we heard about his named Ryan Snifit. He's the infamous industrialist who went missing. According to bio, he's founded a philosophy called Objectivism. Many Kingdoms reject his ideals so I guess he created this city as his nest for his philosophy. We better be on our toes, I don't think exploring the city will be a walk in the park.

End of Part 1
